Before you buy anything, try to imagine how you want each room to look when completed; get the picture well in your mind, as a painter would; think out the main features, for the details all depend upon these and will quickly suggest themselves. This is, in the long run, the quickest and the most economical method of furnishing. There is a theory that no room can be created all at once, that it must grow gradually. In a sense this is a fact, so far as it refers to the amateur. The professional is always occupied with creating and recreating rooms and can instantly summon to mind complete schemes of decoration. The amateur can also learn to mentally furnish rooms. It is a fascinating pastime when one gets the knack of it. Check Out Some Screen Grabs From This Document...

SOUTHERN GENTLEMENS PLANTATION - 3 BEAUTIFUL FLOORPLANS The lover of Southern Country life who looks upon a plantation home in the true spirit of it's history is, no doubt, struck by their grace & style. As the saying goes, "they just don't make 'em like that anymore". But, the legacy of the American plantation dweller lives on in these rare 1852 farmhouse plans. The plans and directions in this work are intended to be of the most practical kind; beautiful, substantial, and applicable, throughout, to the purposes intended, and such as are within the reach—each in their kind—of every farmer in our country. These plans are chiefly original; created in 1852 or before, they are not copied from any in the books, or from any structures with which the writer is familiar. GENTLEMENS FARM HOUSE We here present a dwelling of a more ambitious and pretending character than any one which we have, as yet, described, and calculated for a large and wealthy farmer, who indulges in the elegances of country life, dispenses a liberal hospitality, and is every way a country gentleman, such as all our farmers of ample means should be. It will answer the demands of the retired man of business as well; and is, perhaps, as full in its various accommodation as an American farm or country house may require. It claims no distinct style of architecture, but is a composition agreeable in effect, and appropriate to almost any part of the country, and its climate. Its site may be on either hill or plain—with a view extensive, or restricted. The floorplan details grounds plans including a 20' x 20' carriage house, a 20' x 18' grainery & several other structures from 8-20' x 8-20', A 20' x 16' dining room, 20' x 20' parlor, 16' x 18' bedroom, 16' x 18' bedroom, six additional bedrooms, 16' x 16', 20' x 12', 20' x 17', 16' x 18', 20' x 18', 16' x 18'. A SOUTHERN PLANTATION HOUSE DESIGN The proprietor of a plantation in the South, or South-west, requires altogether a different kind of residence from the farmer of the Northern, or Middle States. He resides in the midst of his own principality, surrounded by a retinue of dependents and laborers, who dwell distant and apart from his own immediate family, although composing a community requiring his daily care and superintendence for a great share of his time. A portion of them are the attachés of his household, yet so disconnected in their domestic relations, as to require a separate accommodation, and yet be in immediate contiguity with it, and of course, an arrangement of living widely different from those who mingle in the same circle, and partake at the same board. The usual plan of house-building at the South, we are aware, is to have detached servants' rooms, and offices, and a space of some yards of uncovered way intervene between the family rooms of the chief dwelling and its immediate dependents. Such arrangement, however, we consider both unnecessary and inconvenient; and we have devised a plan of household accommodation which will bring the family of the planter himself, and their servants, although under different roofs, into convenient proximity with each other. A design of this kind is here given. The floorplans detail grounds plans which include a 20' x 16' washroom, a 22' x 18' kitchen, 10' x 6' bath, two 12' x 9' storage rooms, 17' x 17' dining room, 13' x 16' bedroom, 17' x 17' living room, 23' x 19 parlor, six additional bedrooms 15' x 17', 10' x 17', 15' x 17', 15' x 12', 16' x 10', 22' x 19' and a 20' x 24' carriage house with additional space for horses, etc. A PLANTATION HOUSE DESIGN Another southern house is here presented, quite different in architectural design from the last, plain, unpretending, less ornate in its finish, as well as less expensive in construction. It may occupy a different site, in a hilly, wooded country of rougher surface, but equally becoming it, as the other would more fitly grace the level prairie, or spreading plain in the more showy luxury of its character. The floorplans detail a grounds plan with amazing building spaces such as a 12' x 10' office, a 10' x 10' store room, an 8' x 10' closet, a 20' x 16' kitchen, a 14' x 14' washroom, a 6' x 9' bath, 18' x 16' dining room, 18' x 15' nursery, 22' x 18' parlor, 18' x 18' living room, five additional bedrooms 18' x 16', 19' x 18', 18' x 14', 18' x 12', 18' x 16'.

He Was the leading spokesperson for the American Craftsman movement a descendent of the British Arts and Crafts movement. Stickley's Design Philosophies: A house should be constructed in harmony with its landscape, with special attention paid to selecting & using local materials in construction. An open floor plan encourages family interaction and eliminates unnecessary barriers. Built-in bookcases and benches are practical and ensure that the house will not be completely reliant on furniture from outside. Exposed structural elements, light fixtures, and hardware are all considered to be decorative. Artificial light should be kept to a minimum, so large groupings of windows are necessary to bring in light. Check Out Some Screen Grabs From This Document...

Nothing adds more to the feeling of comfort, convenience, and home expression in the farm, than the snug-built laborers' cottage upon it. The cottage also gives the farm an air of respectability and dignity. The laborer should, if not so sumptuously, be as comfortably housed and sheltered as his employer. This is quite as much to the interest of such employer as it is beneficial to the health and happiness of the laborer. I. A SIMPLE FARM COTTAGE DESIGN This cottage may be built of wood, with a slight frame composed of sills and plates only, and planked up and down (vertically) and battened; or grooved and tongued. Or, it may be framed throughout with posts and studs, and covered with rough boards, and over these clapboards, and lathed and plastered inside. Floorplans detail a room 10' x 12', a bedroom 8' x 8', a closet 5' x 8', a living room 18' x 12' a cozy size for a little cottage home. II. A COZY FARM COTTAGE DESIGN This cottage is a grade beyond the one just described, both in appearance and accommodation. It looks great outside and in and features a snug, half-open (or it may be closed, as convenience may require,) porch sheltering the front door. Floorplans detail an 8' x 10' kitchen, 12' x 16' living room, 8' x 10' bedroom, 8' x 6' closet and attached washroom. III. A FRENCH ROOF FARM COTTAGE DESIGN This cottage is still in advance of No. II, in style and arrangement, and may accommodate not only the farm laborer or gardener, but will serve for a small farmer himself, or a village mechanic. It is in the French style of roof, and allied to the Italian in its brackets, and gables, and half-terraced front. Floorplans detail a 18' x 16' washroom, 18' x 12' kitchen/living room, 9' x 6' bedroom, 8' x 10' bedroom, 12' x 8' hallway entrance. IIII. A PEAKED ROOF FARM COTTAGE This cottage is still in advance of the last, in its accommodation, and is suitable for the small farmer, or the more liberal cottager, who requires wider room, and ampler conveniences than are allowed by the hitherto described structures. It is a first class dwelling, of its kind, and, in its details and finish, may be adapted to a variety of occupation, while it will afford a sufficient amount of expenditure to gratify a liberal outlay, to him who chooses to indulge his taste in a moderate extent of decoration and embellishment. Floorplans detail a 6' x 12' room, a 9' x 12' room, a 16' x 12' washroom, 12' x 13' kitchen, 10' x 13' bedroom, 17' x 13' living room and 17' x 7' entrance hall.

The legacy of the American farmer lives on in these rare 1852 farmhouse plans. The plans and directions in this work are intended to be of the most practical kind; plain, substantial, and applicable, throughout, to the purposes intended, and such as are within the reach—each in their kind—of every farmer in our country. These plans are chiefly original; created in 1852 or before, they are not copied from any in the books, or from any structures with which the writer is familiar. A SIMPLE FARM HOUSE DESIGN We here present a farm house of the simplest and most unpretending kind, suitable for a farm of twenty, fifty, or an hundred acres. Buildings somewhat in this style are not unfrequently seen in the New England States, and in New York; and the plan is in fact suggested, although not copied, from some farm houses which we have known there, with improvements and additions of our own. This house may be built either of stone, brick, or wood. The style is rather rustic than otherwise, and intended to be altogether plain, yet agreeable in outward appearance, and of quite convenient arrangement. Floorplans detail a 16' x 15' Sitting room, A 16' x 15' parlor, a 22' x 15' kitchen, Several small rooms measuring 9' x 6-8', Various rooms measuring between 16' x 10'14' (intended for farm related activities & storage), 3 sleeping chambers (bedrooms) measuring, 22' x 16', 9' x 14', & 18' x 15'. A BUSINESS FARMHOUSE DESIGN This is the plan of a house and out-buildings based chiefly on one which we built of wood some years since on a farm of our own, and which, in its occupation, has proved to be one of exceeding convenience to the purposes intended. As a farm business house, we have not known it excelled; nor in the ease and facility of doing up the house-work within it, do we know a better. It has a subdued, quiet, unpretending look; yet will accommodate a family of a dozen workmen, besides the females engaged in the household work, with perfect convenience; or if occupied by a farmer with but his own family around him, ample room is afforded them for a most comfortable mode of life, and sufficient for the requirements of a farm of two, to three or four hundred acres. The floorplans detail a parlor measuring 22' x 15', a Sitting room, 19' x 15', a Bedroom 10' x 13', a kitchen 24' x 16', a washroom 18' x 16', various other work related room measuring from 12- 22' x 10 - 15', three sleeping chambers (bedrooms) 22' x 15', 9' x 11', 12' x 11'. A BRICK OR STONE FARMHOUSE DESIGN We here present the reader with a substantial, plain, yet highly-respectable stone or brick farm house, of the second class, suitable for an estate of three, to five hundred acres, and accommodation for a family of a dozen or more persons. The style is mixed rural Gothic, Italian, and bracketed; yet in keeping with the character of the farm, and the farmer's standing and occupation. The floorplans detail a 18' x 16' parlor, a 18' x 12' bedroom, A 18' x 12' drawing room, a 19' x 16' kitchen with an 8' x 9' dining room, a 16' x 10' washroom and several rooms from 12'- 20' x 10' - 12', eight sleeping chambers (bedrooms) 18' x 16', 24' x 12', 13' x 8', 15' x 12', 14' x 12', 12' x 8', 10' x 15', 16' x 13'. A GAMBREL ROOF STYLE FARMHOUSE DESIGN This is perhaps a more ambitious house than either of the preceding, although it may be adapted to a domain of the same extent and value. It is plain and unpretending in appearance; yet, in its ample finish, and deeply drawn, sheltering eaves, broad veranda, and spacious out-buildings, may give accommodation to a larger family indulging a more liberal style of living than the last. The floorplans detail several utility type rooms measuring from 12' - 18' x 18' - 20', a washroom 14' x 18', a dining room 8' x 14', a pantry room 8' x 14', a kitchen 22' x 16', a bedroom 16' x 14', a sitting room 18' x 16', a parlor 18' x 18', seven sleeping chambers (bedrooms) 18' x 14', 16' x 12', 18'x 18', 9' x 13', 16' x 9', 18' x 16', 18' x 14'. Also includes a section about planting trees and shrubbery around the property. Check Out Some Screen Grabs From This Document...
